Crowd Pleaser

You're a crowd pleaser
 You're a born teaser
 You come by it honestly
 It's not who you want to be
 You've been acting restlessly
 But we all do agree
 You represent our dreams
 you pull it off easily
 brush through the door breezily
 you're every academic's envy
 larger than life it seems
 designed for the big screen
 and did I mention
 you represent our dreams?
 but sometimes you get it all wrong
 sometimes I see you wandering home all alone
 sometimes I wish I never wrote this song
 and never put you on a pedestal at all...
 You're a crowd pleaser
 You're a born teaser
 You come by it honestly
 It's not who you want to be
 You've been acting restlessly
 But we all do agree
 You represent our dreams
 you're on the front page
 you're in the Golden Age
 you're at every award show
 you are the first prize
 the twinkle is in your eyes
 and an unexplainable glow
 sometimes you disappear for a while
 sometimes we forget about your smile
 sometimes life can be dismal
 and we don't want a clown
 hanging around
 reminding us how things used to be—
 You're a crowd pleaser
 You're a born teaser
 You come by it honestly
 It's not who you want to be
 You've been acting restlessly
 But we all do agree
 You represent our dreams
